Slider Studio is working on designs to improve washrooms and toilets in existing hospitals in order to improve patient dignity and support productivity in wards. Working in collaboration with Azhar Architecture and manufacturer Grant Westfield our team has visited five different hospitals and studied typical design and operational problems in these areas. We have talked to patients and nurses about possible improvements, and will apply user-centred and democratic design thinking to devise appropriate environments fit for all users.
The project is sponsored by the Design Council and Department of Health. To learn more about the Design for Dignity Programme visit the Design Council website.
